SEND Provision

All children at our school get the support they need to learn, play and have fun together. For some children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND), this might mean some extra help or resources are needed.

When organising additional support, it is very important that we provide children who have Special Educational Needs with a broad and balanced curriculum, including regular access to all subjects and areas of learning. We believe that children with Special Educational Needs should not be routinely segregated from their class teachers and peers but included as much as possible within their class.

 

SEND AT NETHERTON

Our policy is intended to reflect the practice and aspirations of the whole school and reinforce its commitment to supporting pupils who have special educational needs. It is designed to be a working reference document as well as a statement of intent. It is accessible to all members of the school community.
